Is this any forum in particular? Or is it forums in general?

There are one or two of those points, where, on here, we could get into three figures over several years. All the fun of the fair, particularly when things get a bit passionate.

[A Pair Of Flabby Wings]

I'd have thought a rusty lightbulb would have been the slowest, as it would snag more in the thread.

Although before 14 know-it-alls chip in, I accept that might not be the case if it's a bayonet fitting.
